Physical Therapist

Vighter is actively searching for a Physical Therapist to perform
services at a Joint Commission accredited federal healthcare
facility in central Louisiana. This is a phenomenal opportunity to
gain knowledge and experience within the military health system
while supporting servicemembers and their families. The schedule is
fantastic; Monday to Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM with no call or
weekend duties. We offer a competitive compensation package as well
as a robust benefits package including: medical, dental, vision,
life, 401(k), short/long term disability coverage, accident &
critical illness, and more.

Louisiana residents enjoy a low cost of living across the state -
an average 5 percent lower than the rest of the country. Affordable
housing costs coupled with some of the nation's lowest utility
rates make the state a comfortable place to live.
Homeowner-friendly tax policies and a stable housing market work
together to make owning a home in Central Louisiana an easy and
affordable process - Alexandria's housing costs are lower than
nearby cities such as Beaumont, Little Rock and Houston.

In addition, the region's presence in a state with a strong,
energy-producing focus provides residents with access to cheaper
fuel and utilities. Transportation costs that include everyday
expenses such as gasoline and auto repairs are far less in
Alexandria than in cities like Jackson, Atlanta, Dallas and Fort
Worth. Similar to fuel- and travel-related expenses, utility costs
ranging from home energy to basic telephone bills are also much
lower in Alexandria. Utilities in cities like Corpus Christi and
Mobile cost, on average, 24 percent more than they do in
Alexandria.
